Exploring Sacred Spaces - Stained Glass Windows

St George and the Dragon and Truth, Love, Faith, Hope

The Last Supper

Joseph of Arimathea

Saint Christopher carrying the infant Jesus

Heaven

The Four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John

I once found a perfectly preserved dragonfly carcass.
Its wings were beautiful, like stained glass windows capturing the light.

Archangel Raphael

St Albans Cathedral

The View

Silver running

And cobalt blue

St Catherine

St Julian

And St Joan

All the thrones

Turning the sky

My thirsty soul

Turns to the view

And drinks deep

Rinsed in light

Silver running

And cobalt blue

This rock

This throne

This sky

This stone

St Catherine

St Julien

And St Joan

This land

Bathed in light
Love calls home

St Margaret's Chapel

There is a stillness in the air

Feather gently floating

A warmth of rose and lavender

Wrapped up in this scent

A candle, now lit, reaching out

A light to lift eyes and spirit

To the sky ringing above the bell

And gladness fills the heart

Hope is now a chalice full

Of quiet angels

The Window

More than ever now

My life

A stained glass window

Of interconnecting facets

All I have seen

All I have felt

All I have known

How can I make sense of this kaleidoscope

Of light and shade

Am I the sum of all these parts

A patchwork cemented in time and place

Yet, when examined, it seems

I am no more than

The play of light through a window
